The Government of the Balearic Islands has launched a digital platform that centralizes all information from the cruise agreement signed with shipping companies for the period 2027-2031. The website will publish monthly and annual reports with official data on compliance with sustainability measures, allowing citizens to verify whether the impact of mass tourism in Palma is being reduced.
Real-time data to audit port sustainability 📊
The digital tool will function as a public repository of statistics, including emissions, number of passengers and calls, as well as air quality and noise indicators. Records will be updated each month, and a detailed balance will be published at the end of the year. Government technicians have designed the interface so that any citizen can consult the figures without specialized knowledge, thus ensuring the transparency of the agreement.
Now you'll be able to know if the cruise ship of the moment is blocking your sun ☀️
Finally, the people of Palma will be able to check whether the ship that stole their sunset view complied with emission limits or, on the contrary, was responsible for the air smelling like diesel. Of course, the report will not include data on how many tourists in flip-flops invade the Cathedral at eleven in the morning. For that, they will have to wait for the next agreement.
